H.C. Aqua Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hello everyone. My name is Jesse, and I'm from the Island of Oahu. I've been keeping fish all my live, but only got really serious in the last 3 years. Last time I counted, I was up to 90 tanks and 50 pond tubs for a total of 140 running systems. All of which is outdoors in both my backyard and garage. My wife and I are currently breeding 28 strains of guppies, but I'm also working on other species like dwarf cichlids, bettas, pseudomugils, killifish, and ricefish. Breeding fish has taken over my life, and I bet the same goes for a lot of you here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Looks like paradise! What are those pipes running next to the tubs? You know you have a lot fish when you begin to lose count of the number of systems you are running ☺️ Edited July 29, 2020 by Daniel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 If I lived in Hawaii I think I would do like you have with the tub ponds. Definitely looks like your own slice of paradise there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day if I'm not lazy I'll move it against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Cory Posted July 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2020 Definitely a dream to do ponds outside year round. I'll have to settle for inside ponds. All the extra plants makes it look so nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RovingGinger Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Would you ever want to do one of those home swap shows and try out Minnesota? 😂 Having that much life outdoors year round must be magical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like we're cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
